Francesca

Hello! I am a qualified, experienced teacher (PGCE, University of Cambridge) with a SENCO qualification. I have much experience teaching students with varying needs and from different backgrounds, and have an in-depth knowledge of the National Curriculum. I love teaching and working with children - my passion is to help all students to achieve their full potential. I aim to build students' confidence and skills using a kind, nurturing and supportive approach.

Tutoring Experience

My teaching experience is both varied and extensive. I am a qualified primary school teacher with more than 6 years classroom experience, both in Key Stage 1 and 2. Additionally, I have gained the national SENCO award and worked in this position, so I have much experience and knowledge of how best to differentiate learning to suit the needs of all learners. On top of my years' experience in the classroom, I have privately tutored a number of students and have also worked as a teaching assistant in a secondary school, as a learning support assistant for a child with additional needs and as a tutor in a language school.

Tutoring Approach

I feel very passionate about the fact that all children can achieve their potential whatever their individual needs, background or difficulties. I believe that, in order for children to learn, they need to feel confident, safe and supported. Through a kind and nurturing teaching approach, I aim to build children's self-confidence so that they are able to effectively move forwards in their learning. I also feel very strongly about the importance of getting to know each child well to ensure that I can properly individualise and differentiate the learning and curriculum to suit their specific needs.
